The Golden State Warriors’ front office reportedly had a brutally honest meeting with Draymond Green before the NBA’s postseason began.

The meeting’s topic: Green’s weight.

According to a report by The Athletic, the Warriors’ GM, Bob Myers, reportedly told Green that he needed to lose weight and get in better shape heading into the playoffs.

“Draymond,” Myers said then, per The Athletic. “I’mma tell you something you may not want to hear.”

“All right. I’m listening,” Green responded.

“If we’re going to win a championship,” Myers said, “you’ve got to get in shape.”

Green responded to Myers well, according to the report. He went on to lose some weight and get in better shape, too.

“Yeah, I started this strenuous regimen on March 6,” Green said. “It’ll take me like two weeks, maybe like 10 days, to really get to where I need to be.”

Green reportedly lost 23 pounds from then to now and has been playing quite well this postseason. He had 17 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in the Game 1 victory.

Golden State leads Los Angeles, 2-1, in the first round. Game 4 is set for today with tipoff at 3:30 p.m. E.T. on ABC.
